Kieran Tierney looked bright and fresh as he took part in training at Lennoxtown.

The defender made the pointless trip to Kazakhstan last week but had to pull out of the Scotland side due to injury, flying home early and missing the win over San Marino.

Tierney has only played five matches since recovering from a pelvic injury but seems certain to be in place for Sunday’s Glasgow derby.

With Filip Benkovic back to fitness and Olivier Ntcham and Tom Rogic back in training Neil Lennon won’t be short of options when he gets down to finalising his side.

Mikael Lustig appears to be the main fitness worry after suffering a dead leg during the first half of Sweden’s win over Romania on Saturday.

Jeremy Toljan can play at right-back although Kris Ajer is another option if Benkovic and Dedryck Boyata are paired together in central defence.
